When it comes to shipping from home, very few things are actually necessary to make the process run smoothly. You don’t need personalized boxes, cute work area decorations, a Rollo label printer, etc. Those things are cute and helpful, but if you’re looking to get into selling for maximum profit, none of those will increase …
My first trip to the Goodwill Outlets to source books for Amazon was a disaster. Apart from finding a shoe full of poop (that’s a story for another time) I was absolutely blown away by how crazy people can be. I had been selling full-time on eBay for a couple of years but was just …
Choosing a handheld label maker from the hundreds of options on the market can be confusing and time-consuming. In the past 5 years, I have used more than a dozen different portable label printers at 2 different jobs, at home, and then in my own business. With that experience (and a good deal of research) …
Since getting married 7 years ago my wife and I have moved 4 times and shipped over 4,000 packages. What do those things have in common? Tape. Lots and lots of packing tape. During that time we’ve purchased at least a dozen different types of packing tape. We’ve tried heavy-duty packing tape, clear packing tape, …
List Perfectly is probably the most important piece of software we use in our reselling businesses. When it goes down or doesn’t work right, I wouldn’t say that it’s catastrophic but it definitely disturbs our workflow. Luckily, List Perfectly is rarely down.

When I first started selling on eBay and shipping orders my packages looked horrendous. I mainly relied on free shipping supplies to keep costs down so I shipped items in diaper boxes, recycled Amazon boxes, and just about anything else I could find. Discovering that I could take a box and make it whatever size …
Before you get bogged down in the article I’ll cut straight to it: yes, List Perfectly is worth it. In fact, we used it to increase our eBay sales by 28% almost overnight. But don’t take our word for it. If you click before you can get 30% off your first month (with a 5 …
I’ve been griping about my Rollo thermal printer for more than two years. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. In fact, I think it is the best-priced printer on the market for anyone running a small business. So what was I griping about? Not being able to print from my phone or wirelessly from …
When most new business owners start looking for ways to make their operations more cost-effective and efficient, they land on a thermal printer.
